 red marbled cheek. Flesh white, but pale red at the stone ;

Superb. Double Swalsh, ) 



Few of the early peaches surpass in flavour and beauty the 

 Royal George. It is one of the finest European varieties, and 

 attains the highest flavour with us. The points of its shoots 

 are a little inclined to mildew, which is entirely, in our climate, 

 prevented by the shortening-in pruning. It is a regular and 

 moderate bearer. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit above the middle 

 size, or rather large, globular, broad, and depressed, the suture 

 deep and broad at the top, and extending round two-thirds of 

 the fruit. Skin pale, or white, thickly sprinkled with red dots, 

 and the cheek of a broad, rich, deep red, slightly marbled. Flesh 

 whitish, but very red at the stone, melting, juicy, very rich, and 

 of the highest flavour. From the 20th to the last of August. 

 Flowers small. 



Scott's Early Red. 



Scott's Early Red is a new variety, of very excellent flavour, 

 and a prolific bearer, which w^e have lately received from New 

 Jersey.
